What do CINNAMON ROLLS and MARKETING have to do with one another? You’d be surprised!!

Who remembers the movie “Field of Dreams”? Remember when they said — “Build it and they will come!!!”?

If building a business was only that easy!

Dr. Bill, Carl Lubbe and I are talking about marketing. Great marketing is essential to building a strong, sustainable business.

It helps your perfect clients find you and it can even help them recommend your business more easily to others.

Carl and Dr. Bill are giving us a mini Marketing Master class during the show! You want to hear this info! So, so good!

We’re also speaking to Kathy Wedegis, owner of The Colored Egg!

And, I have to admit, her marketing is absolutely brilliant! Drool-worthy is probably a better description! The tantalizing goodies she brought with her were amazing!

In spite of all the craziness of the past year and a half, The Colored Egg never missed a day serving our community. How was that even possible?

Nilanjan “Pap” Datta – Left Nut Brewing Company

Left Nut Brewing Company produces craft beers and ciders of all types and flavors. Our brewery is located in the historic
Chicopee Mill industrial area in Gainesville, Georgia. “Left Nut Brewing Company” came into being as a Georgia Corporation in 2013. Many have asked, “Why did you go with that name?” Fair question. The name, “Left Nut Brewing Company,” is built on a vernacular which epitomizes the willingness to give up something of extreme value to do something or create something unique; something for which we have endless passion.
The name provides great curiosity, amusement, and immediately fosters conversation. When people drink beer, most often, it is in a social setting where conversation and stories are exchanged. We want to use this aspect of “sharing stories” as a central theme across our products, and product brands.

Each of our products will have a story tied to it. Stories which will connect you, our customers, to us as individuals, to the history of the style of beer you have chosen, or to local and universal myths and folktales which provide a thematic backdrop for our products.

Dana Chapman – iTN Lanier

This is Arm In Arm, Door Through Door Service with no cash, credit cards or tips in the car.

ITN Lanier uses a combination of volunteer and paid drivers to serve those over 60 who no longer drive, as well as those who do not drive because of visual impairment, of any age over 18. We serve only residents of Hall County Georgia and travel only to Hall County destinations.
